English I.andlortlism In Iowa.

The General Land Office at Wash
ington is in receipt of information that
the British syndicate which is said to
have purchased large tract
OF land in Iowa from the Nc
Gregor Western Railway Company is
mercilessly evicting settlers, the title
to the land being in dispute in the
State courts.
A settler writes: GA woman over
go years of age, sick in bed, has been
taken by six men and carried out into
the driving storm. Delicate women
have had their hands tied with cords
till the flesh was bruised and then
dragged shrieking from their homes.
Children have been born at the sight
of the band OF evictors. Strong men
have been run down by ruffians on
horseback and then handcuffed and
dragged from their little possessions.

perate and deadly preparations We're
made. Each one was equipped with
double-barreled shotguns, heavily
loaded buckshot, a brace Of pistols and
a bowie-knife. With view to accom-
plishing the death OF one or the other,
if guns failed pistols were to be used,
and if these failed, too, they were to
use their knives. At the appointed time
both opened fire without the usual
preliminaries and Hopkins fell, pierced
with half a dozen or more shot. His
antagonist was also seriously wounded,
and both were laid up for months

Good Fortune.

The new Lieutenant Governor of
Michigan, James H. Macdonald, gets
an income of $4,000 a year from a
single mining investment which cost
him less than $3.50, according to Cap
tain N. D. Moore, who discovered and
prospected the Gogebic iron range,
about which SO much has been said
recently. One of the great mines in
that range is known as the Colby
mine. Its stock is not for sale even at
the heavy price of $500 a share, at
which it is quoted. Captain Moore
discovered and located this mine and
made Government entry of the
land. He was very poor at that time,
and it became necessary to ask friends
to assist him by furnishing funds to
make the entry. Macdonald was at
that time roadmaster of the division
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail
road between Escanaba and Negaunee,
at salary Of $125 a month. Captain
Moore persuaded Mr.. Macdonald to
take third interest in the entry. For
long time the claim was idle, and
Mr.. Macdonald often berated the Cap
tain for drawing him into an unproft-
able venture with his little earnings.
The land was finally leased by min
ing company which pays 40 cents a
ton royalty on the ore taken out, and
this royalty for the present year will
be $12O, 900, Mr.. Macdonald's share
being one-third.

The President Surprised and Mrs.
Cleveland Amused.

One man, tall and we'll built, raped
on the window. The President at
first took no notice, but the rapping
was continued, and he stepped up near
the window and bowed to the crowd.
But the enthusiastic citizen wasn't
satisfied with that. He made motions
for the window to be raised, and kept
on rapping. The people watched him
eagerly, and hoped the President
would open the window and make a
few remarks. Meanwhile Mrs. Cleve-
land had risen and come up behind
her husband and was surveying the
people with a pleasant smile. Truly,
she was pretty. All Baltimore thought
her lovely when they saw her at the
Charity ball; but if they could have
seen her standing up behind her hus-
band watching the crowd, with that
sweet, pleasant smile that every mo-
ment fitted across her face, they
would have been completely fasci-
mated.
But the enthusiastic citizen who had
hammered on the window now forced
his way past the porter's place, and
then into the car. He went up to the
President and slapped him on the
back. The President was evidently
somewhat surprised, but he did not
show it. His wife, however, was very
much amused, as she smiled brightly.
The enthusiastic gentleman wasn't
daunted at all. He shook hands with
Mrs. Cleveland, who again smiled.
This individual, not content with
shaking hands with both, thought
he'd try to interview the President, SO
he pumped the question:
"What do you think of your chance
for a second term?"
Though the President had shaken
hands, he wasn't answering ques-
tions, so he replied that he didn't
know.-Baltimore American.

THE SICK RooM.
Instructions for Nursing.

Don't appear anxious, however
great your anxiety. Assume cheer
full expression, and get off an old joke
about the patient being a great liar, or
some other antedeluvian humor.
Such things have tendency to arouse
a patient from thoughts of his condi-
ton if anything will.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sit
ting upon it. If you want to jar the
bed kick or thump is more effective.
Don't let the patient know that you
are watching him. Go to sleep and
snore and he will be sure to keep
awake and watch the clock for medi-
cine time.
Don't have the sick room tempera-
ture over 60 degrees. If you should
let it go up to 80, and then jestingly
remark that you were preparing the
patient for the immediate future, it
might make him nervous. Sick peo-
pie are not apt to appreciate joke.
Don't neglect during the day to at
tend to necessaries for the night. See
to it that good substantial lunch is
prepared, and a reasonable amount of
drinkables are on hand. The sick al
ways get along better when the nurse
is we'll cared for.
Don't ask a convalescent if he
would like this or that to eat or drink,
but prepare the delicacies and present
them in a tempting way. To fasten a
delicacy on the end of string and let
it dangle in front of patients nose is
very effective, and then to jerk it
away when he reaches for it causes
much amusement and relieves the mo-
notony of the sick room.
Don't be unmindful Of yourself if
you are in the responsible position Of
nurse. Take care that you get your
proper amount Of sleep, and let the
patient wake you if you oversleep
yourself. Sick people are naturally
wakeful, and even if the patient did
doze off and miss the medicine hour it
would be better than to break down
the nurses health and thus make two
invalids instead of one.
Don't give the patient full glass of
water to drink from. If he is very
thirsty, alleviate the thirst by telling
him that there is more in the reser-
voir.
Don't allow the patient to get low
spirited. Tickle him under the nose,
punch him in the short ribs with your
thumb, Or do something else of con-
vivial character to enliven the sick
man and keep him in bright humor.
And finally, don't pay attention to
all the fool advica Won rpad in tha Da-

Bret Hnrte,

A current paragraph OF English
origin saws: "Bret Harte is living

vantage to live in England from a
mere business standpoint. Residing
here he obtains copyright in Eng

abled at the same time to secure a

were to live in the United States his
writings would be absolutely unpro-

steady sale in England and his new

Harte writes for the English maga-
zines and periodicals. He practically
commands for his work any price he
wants. He makes from s., 900 to $40,

The Varied value OF silver.

Silver, in its relative value to gold,
has varied greatly at different times.
In the days of the Patriarch Abraham
it was eight to one; B. G. 1000 it was
twelve to one; B. G. 500 it was thir-
teen to one; at the commencement CT
the Christian era it was nine to one.
A. d. 500 it was eighteen to one; in
100 it was eight to one; in 140O it
was eleven to one; 1854 it was six to
one; in 1900 it was fifteen and a half
to one. 1t maintained the latter ratio
until 1872, when it began to rise, and
in 1876 it attained to twenty-one; II
soon after gradually declined, ther
advanced again, and August !, 1886
reached the highest point ever known
since which time it has gradually de

City Life.

Julian Ralph says in a letter de-

young women in the great city of New
York: The kindest advice to give a

she asks whether to sink herself in
the cruel, turbulent channel of metro
politan life; and yet who can with
stand her arguments if she refers to
such precedents as the list of success

ners, authoresses, and women in COM

was born rich, but Edith Kingdom
was poor; Mrs. Connolly, a milliner
here, has made half million dollars
Miss Middle Morgan is the leading
cattle and live stock reporter on the
continent; well-to-do authoresses are
plenty; type-writing girl of 10 years
ago now maintains six establishments
down town; the superintendent and
the cashier Of the largest ladies' store
in town are both women; nearly all
the buyers in all the large Brooklyn
stores are women; at least two dozen
female physicians are highly prosper

the metropolis before she came to it,,
and now when she visits it she is feted

said a French woman to one of our

thing less than French politeness.
"She has not the American voice."
For American women are, unfortu-
nately, too justly credited with nasal
or sharp voices. 1t is an astonishing
fact that most people make no effort
to improve the quality of the voice in
speaking.

A FEMALE SOLDIER.
surprising Discovery Made at a
Veterans Home.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 13.-One of
the most remarkable cases of conceal
ment OF sex has just been brought to
light in this city. On September 26
application was made to Colonel L.
A. Harris, trustee Of the Dayton
Soldiers Home, for the admission of a
sick veteran to that institution, The
soldier called at Colonel Harris house
and was given an application blank to
be filled out. The veterans name was
James Fisher. He had letter from
Colonel Tafel the Colonel of his regi-
ment, which stated that Fisher had
received an honorable discharge after
two years service in Company C,
Sixth Ohio Infantry. Fisher was i'll
and unable to provide for himself.
Colonel Harris gave him transporta-
ton on September % to Dayton, with
a letter to Colonel Patrick, Superinten-
dent of the home, requesting him to
take care Of the bearer until he could
be provided for.
The medical examination at Dayton
revealed the fact that Fisher is fully
developed woman. OF course, she
was not received into the home, and no
one knows where she now is. Very
little is known Of her history except
that she is So years old. Since the
war she has continued to dress like a
man and live with those of that sex.
In appearance Fisher is short, heavy
set, with round smooth face, dark
hair and eyes, and somewhat effemin-
ate, but no one had ever suspected
her sex. Colonel Tafel says the
woman was one of the bravest soldiers
in his regiment, and he was astounded
to learn that Fisher is woman.
